The wait is finally over. Today, we are officially launching the complete Campfire Summer and Winter 2026 Release, combining our most powerful Summer and Winter updates into one seamless experience.

‍

These updates focus on three core pillars: tighter project integration, admin automation, and enhanced visibility. The full video demonstrates these features in action and shows how Campfire is evolving to help you manage complex lifecycles with ease.

What’s New in Campfire?

‍

1. Seamless Project Linking

In the past, understanding the "why" behind a technical decision could mean digging through endless email chains. Our new updates bring that context directly into your records.

• Requirement to Decision Linking: We’ve introduced two-way lookups between requirements and Campfire decisions. When a technical gap is resolved, the "why" stays attached to the "what," giving both the implementation team and the customer total transparency.
• Build Cycle Alignment: You can now link projects directly to build cycles. This creates a high-level dashboard view that lets you track progress, start dates, and end dates across your entire project phase in one place.

‍

2. Efficiency at Scale: Admin Automation

Managing a large-scale project means dealing with shifting workloads. To save you from the "one-by-one" click fatigue, we’ve introduced two major bulk-action tools:

• Mass Reassign Configuration Owner: Need to rebalance the workload because a team member is over-capacity? You can now reassign multiple requirements across different owners in a single flow.
• Mass Update Client Review Status: Tracking approvals just got faster. Instead of updating individual statuses, you can now bulk-mark requirements as "Ready for Review" or "Completed" once the client gives the green light.

3. Real-Time Visibility & Reporting

We’ve removed the manual math from your deployment and testing cycles. The 2025 updates introduce intelligent counters and progress bars that do the heavy lifting for you.

• Automated Testing Metrics: On the Test Event record, you’ll find a new "Event Progress" section. With the click of a single checkbox, the system calculates pass/fail percentages and raw numbers across your unit, QA, or end-to-end testing.
• Deployment Counters: On the requirement level, Campfire now automatically tracks the number of configuration items and deployment tasks. As you build or delete records, these numbers update in real-time, giving you an immediate sense of the requirement’s complexity.

We’ve also introduced brand-new RAID Logs and Scope Change Dashboards to help project managers mitigate risks before they become roadblocks.

How do these look in a live environment? How can you set up the automation flows for your specific team?
